Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers vs. New Orleans Pelicans
Tuesday, February 11, 2020 8:05 PM
Play: Point Spread: 3/-110 Portland Trail Blazers
New Orleans needs to step up and stay focused on the defensive side of the game here, they have been atrocious. Portland has not taken major steps forward this year, than last years season but they are still slightly better than the Pelicans. New Orleans do not have a proven leader on their roster, yet. As the Blazers guards should be able to run amok against a team that gets beat in transition.
One thing, all of these guys on New Orleans need to do, is step up their pick ups off pick and rolls when it's in progress - getting a hand i the shooters face. An average defense would be a big step in the right direction, New Orleans is giving up 117ppg if they can get it to down even around 110 /game - their season will change. The Pels aren't going to keep an above average scoring team like Portland from being able to hang points on the board.
Portland pulls the upset here in this one as D Lilard goes off!
